Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9938243A1] A clamping apparatus (62) useful in clamping stator coil windings (54, 56) of a turbine generator includes a retaining platform (80) for extending across a pair of coil windings (56) positioned in a spaced relation, with the retaining platform (80) having a bore (84) extending therethrough. A connecting insert member (82) is carried within the bore (84) and has a through-hole (90) with separable mating segments (92) for admitting a rod (72) into the through-hole (90). The elongated rod (72) passes through the through-hole (90) of the connecting insert member (82) but includes a bulbous shaped end (88) dimensioned for passing through the bore (84) of the retaining platform (80) but not through the through-hole (90) of the connecting insert member (82), thus having tension in the elongated rod (72) bias the platform (80) against the coil windings (56).
